Thank Prabhakar Raghavan for that. After destroying Yahoo’s search product he failed up and did the same at Google.
In reward for making Google Search materially worse in every way except ad revenue, he failed up again and was promoted to a cushy do-nothing role.
Everything wrong with the tech industry, embodied in a single person.

- sumedh 20d agoIf Google's ad revenue is going up he is keeping the shareholders happy.

- brainwad 20d agoHe wasn't the one who merged ads and search into the same org. The blame has to fall on Sundar, surely. > promoted to a cushy do-nothing role The people who this happens to are not perceived as successes. Everyone knows they are gentle firings.
